Top 5 most affordable bike: Important for the safety of drivers, traction control systems (TCS) can be found in new cars and some high-end motorcycles. But companies like Yamaha are now putting this function on motorcycles and scooters for the mass market as well. In this piece, we list the top 5 cheapest two-wheelers in India that have traction control.
TCS stands for “traction control system”
Before we begin, let us define traction control and explain how it works. TCS is a safety device built into cars that helps keep the wheels from losing grip on the road. It uses sensors to recognise when a wheel is losing traction and then automatically adjusts the power output or braking force to that wheel to regain traction and keep the car stable.
